<p>An apparatus (10) for photochemically oxidizing gaseous volatile or semi-volatile organic compounds includes: a) a reactor vessel (12) having a plurality of reaction chambers (14, 16, 18, 20, 22 and 24) provided therein, the reaction chambers having respective lining sidewalls (42); b) a source ultraviolet light (46) provided within and along the reaction chambers; c) the sidewalls of the reaction chambers comprising a dry porous cementitious and chemically sorbent material; and d) the sidewalls of the reaction chambers comprising a series of baffles (26, 28, 30, 32 and 34) mounted relative to the reaction vessel. A removable reaction chamber baffle liner for such an apparatus comprises: i) a peripheral support frame (60) sized and shaped for sliding receipt within the photochemical oxidation reactor vessel; and ii) a hardened mass of dry porous cementitious and chemically sorbent material received within and physically supported by the peripheral frame. A method of photochemically oxidizing gaseous volatile or semi-volatile organic compounds is also disclosed.</p> |
